nicholls_les Not a bad film if you have a couple of hours to kill. It moves at a good pace and the acting is very good. However as others have said there are just too many holes in the plot to make it believable. 1. A super computer that seems to instantly overcome any security system anywhere, including airports, the Police, utility companies and the FBI would not need a human to overcome a security protocol. 2. Identical twins do not share bio-metrics or voice patterns. 3. Since the exploding crystal and trigger were going to get to where the president was, what was the need to the twins bio-metrics anyway? 4. A Super computer would have worked out it's own mistake in seeing the president and his staff as a threat to national security.Apart from that I enjoyed it! :)

calebcunningham41 Eagle Eye is a gut wrenching, heart pounding-thriller from beginning to end. Although stories like this one have been told before, this one really does tell it like no other giving us a perspective that hits home. Eagle Eye is about national security and what would happen if someone evil were to get inside and turn everything upside down on the people in charge of running the country. Now, I cannot say too much without giving the movie away so I'll keep it brief. Eagle Eye has outstanding action scenes and special effects! I believe it has something to offer for everyone. The writing is fair and the music is as well. The acting is believable from the entire cast and for once Shia Labeouf does a grand job of making us care for his characters safety and happiness. There is, however, a little more "language" then I believe necessary. To quote Nathan Wilson "language is necessary to an extent. If you're a cop and see a dead women you're not going to say 'oh darn, he got away again!'" with that being said, I rest my case. I said in the beginning of the review that this movie hits home and I'll tell you why; being a dad and a husband, I see now that I would do just about anything for the safety of my children. Just about. How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Would you kill or find a way out if there was one even though people could still die or get hurt in the end. Don't get me wrong, I love my family to death but this movie pushes the line of how far one can or could go to save them; to the point that makes all other people and priorities irrelevant including the safety of one countries future. We can't always protect our children from all bad things that happen in this fallen world, the best we can do is be there for them if they do get hurt and pick them back up. Eagle Eye stresses that point. I think we should too.

Dominic LeRose Going to the cinema for thrills is a wonderful experience. Too bad those who saw "Eagle Eye" were devastated to learn they walked into a film that relates more to a comedy than a thriller. Coming back after "Transformers," Shia LaBeouf is teamed with the lovely Michelle Monaghan to star in one of the stupidest, lousiest, and most unbelievably dumb action movies in recent years. Jerry and Rachel are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using technology to track and control their every move. At what point to poor Rachel and Jerry contact people for help? No! Director D.J. Caruso forces them to do almost everything an unnormal human being would intend on acting on. With Billy Bob Thorton as the bad guy, a random plane crash, weak explosions and every piece of dialogue being shouted, it's no wonder "Eagle Eye" remains an unloved and uin fact hated piece of scum. The horror of the quality from every level of storytelling by visual means and written means cannot compare to anything in the 21st century so far. This is laugh out-loud awfulness like you've never seen before. The only thing going for "Eagle Eye" is its intriguing title.

Adam Peters (37%) A piece made entirely for the average opening weekend cinema goer. The type of person who decides what film to go and watch by the billboard they just drove past, or a 10 second TV spot. Someone who thinks that the critics are way too harsh with the "awesome" transformers movies. The type of person who are far more interested in the popcorn and fizzy drink combo than the actual film itself. People who just want a big bang for every one of their bucks. Folk who always between the "boring talky bits" check their text messages and distract everyone around them with the annoying glow from their phone's screen. And quite frankly if that's you in a nutshell then this is a good watch. In fact you might even deem it awesome, but if that's the case then you likely paid with your ticket using pocket money. With a fair bit of Will Smith's "Enemy of the state" this is a movie most high school students would alter Hitchcock's entire back-catalogue to be more like, ie take out character depth, almost all the tension, subtlety, and just hand over all the action by the bargain bucket load. While this does roll along at a fair old speed, is very watchable, and isn't really what I'd call even near to being terrible, but it still couldn't be more of a hollow, overly produced, and very silly experience even if it tried.
